Daggers in our Heart

Thirty-Second

Thirty-Second

But that night seems to be forgotten the next day. It's as if I didn't cry for it. It's as if I didn't see how his eyes teared up. It's as if nothing that confusing happened.

He might be very drunk that he's saying things. Or maybe I'm the one who's very drunk to think that it has a deep meaning.

He just asked me to call him by his name again. It's normal, right? We're having fun and throwing a mini party, at that time we're atleast friends but I kept on calling him Engineer and call the others by their name.

Shit!!! My head is blowing up trying to connect things and make it look like normal one even though I'm feeling different. I better not assume things and just keep straight to my plan for self improvement.

Besides, I improved a lot compared to how I was from the start. I've been here for so long now, I'm not shaken by him anymore. I think, I'm going natural. I'm getting recovered with the help of Krist and myself.

Finally, Krist's words are taken by me seriously!! It's working on me now and that should continue straight.

Joong arrived at work later than his usual. I don't know what time did he arrive at his own house last night. I don't even know if he stayed at Off's house or goes home late too like Krist and I.

"I'm very drunk yesterday, I woke up late" that's what he first said the moment he get to sit on his swivel chair.

"That's fine, Engineer. No one's looking for you" I answered just so he'll know it. Maybe he's worrying if Engineer Ben came here or if some clients look for him so I informed. But then, he looks at me like he's getting the opposite of what I want him to get.

I slightly panicked at that thought, especially when his brows furrowed a bit.

"I mean.. no one visited unlike the past few days, Engineer. I'm not going sarcastic on you awhile ago. Bad choices of words, sorry about that" I immediately apologized.

"I know. Stop being so defensive or I'll think that you're really using sarcasms on me again. Don't forget that some percentage of your final grade will come from my rate on you" he strictly answered while opening his laptop.

Oi, be easy on me!!

"Yes, Engineer" I spitted that with full respect. He looks like he's not going to think twice in giving me a failing grade if ever. I have to be kind, hehe.

I sat properly on the seat in front of his desk while just watching his laptop as if I can see a thing on what he's typing.

"Where did you sleep last night?" He suddenly asked that made me look at his serious face. He's still eye-ing the laptop but when I didn't answer, he diverted his gaze on me and raise a brow.

"In my bed? Inside my unit, Engineer" I answered, kind of weirded out by his question. What? Where do you expect me to sleep? On the floor? In the road?

"Uh.. you?" I asked too, unsure if I have the rights to ask. His brow raised again. I nearly face palmed, what's with him and his grouchy attitide again?

"I mean, you Engineer. Did you sleep in Off's house?" I asked, putting proper address on him if ever that's the reason for his attitude.

We don't want to upset the boss, he might turn to a dragon and spit bad grades on me. He just nodded at my question and continued to type things in his laptop.
